Did you notice the Suvin Gold Western shirt that just came up on OD:

Yup. I've bought it. Hopefully it will be a good fit. Really glad I decided against buying the workshirt version last month.

More information on the shirt can be found on the SDA site:

Ok i had another look on SDA site and their measurements were after a wash. These jeans are non wash. Denimio sent me measurements for tag size 31 and 32:

(size31/non wash)

waist flat: 84cm
front rise: 27cm
upper thigh width: 32cm
inseam: 94cm
hem: 19.5cm
----------------------
(size32/non wash)

waist flat: 86cm
front rise: 27.5cm
upper thigh width: 33cm
inseam: 93.5cm
hem: 20cm

This is the size chart after wash on SDA website:

get it! get it! get it!

I just checked against the SDA size chart and according to them the rise on a size 34 would be 10.2 inches. So maybe the rise on a size 32 would actually be closer to 10.5 inches and thus acceptable for me. hmmm

Not much to show. Only light wear on the whiskers visible. I haven't worn them during the last few weeks. But Il ike the top block on them. Comfy enough without looking baggy.

 

Anyone checked out the D1755 made with Suvin Gold cotton?

I was going to, but the low rise has put me off. I am hoping someone here will get it though. Interested to hear about the supima warp and suvin gold weft combo

I'm going to skip the suvin gold jeans (D1755). The low rise is not to my taste.

Yea I saw those also, but that big red A on back pocket

Am I being stupid, or does Unionmade really charge $60 for international shipping?

Nope, they do really charge that much!

Might as well join with my FW1947s. 

Looking forward to how those turn out!

Nice Iron Horse!

Mine (1951 one) have that hip flare on one side too, weird.

@Niro - is there a name for those boots on which the laces go down to the toes?

The lonewolf ones which go right down to the toe are called 'wireman'

Yea I was quite worried about the fit. My fears have eased now, but I won't know for sure until i've worn them for a while.

Got my Lone wolf carpenter boots black x brown. They are amazing!  That feeling of putting on the boots and thinking "fuck yea" is just awesome.

half size down seems to have good choice, but won't know fully until I break them in.

Will BiG even carry Warehouse anymore?   or are they just waiting on a restock?  The only model they have listed is the 800 and there's only one size.  Seems they are reassessing what they offer?

They seem to have been dumping the big japanese brands for a while now though haven't they?

I add a tablespoon of salt to the water when soaking to help minimise indigo loss

@Flash Nice pickup!

Are NoKipple still in business then? As in if i bought off their website I would be ok or I need to contact someone directly?

That's the cheapest I have ever seen Tender jeans at...under $100!

That's shrunk in nicely!

I know you haven't properly worn them in, but do you think you will prefer this fit over the IHxVS777?

Nice!

I got the piggy flannel too. you are making me think about the burgundy too now, looks a deep rich colour

@JDelage Yea I couldn't get on the site for a while either

liking the smurf stain

Just found out Trickers himalaya collection is on their store. Been waiting for the navy stow type boot (called Hardie) since I saw sneak previews of it earlier in the year, but it's £495!

Also found out they have price hike on all products few months ago, standard boots are now £425!

I've become a big Trickers fan, but even I'm not sure about these prices. What do others feel about their pricing now?

Thanks Aries. I've taken a chance with half size down, as that was largest size i could get for the Lone Wolf carpenters I wanted, so hopefully it works out for me

That heavily washed out looking fade is awesome!

I went TTS.

edit: I.e., they fit similar to Alden Trubalance.

thanks Aries. And is the fit good for you or on the looser side?

As reading up on alden lasts (as i have no clue on Alden), the consensus seems to be size down half for the trubalance.
